The Garden of Enchanted Tulips

There were two desperate, mute souls beside this shrine. Reza and Nazira often went there secretly, sitting in silence for hours, gazing at the tender beauty of the flowers. Perhaps, if they could, but Reza was already fifteen; Nazira was a year away from this difficult anniversary, she knew it, and she didn't deceive her friend.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Elsoa who, one day, discovered the secret path that had led her to the garden. As she reached the entrance, the tulips lit up with golden sparkles until the girl's eyes shone. She crossed the entrance and walked among the glittering flowerbeds, seeing how joy filled her in the blink of an eye, but suddenly, she discovered a dead tulip right in the center of the garden.

Gently, Elisa approached and touched it with her hands. Instantly, the petals turned a bright, deep red. An almost whispering voice exclaimed that the garden bloomed thanks to the happiness of the people and that, with her hands, she could revive the dried flowers.

So, Elisa returned to the garden every afternoon from that day on and continued to bring stories, songs, and laughter. The tulips responded to her love and grew brighter and brighter. As time passed, the townspeople noticed something different about the girl, as her kindness and joy infected everyone around her.

The garden of enchanted tulips will become a symbol of hope and happiness. No one will ever find the secret path again, but Elisa will know that its magic should be shared with the world—the light of the same tulips that once showed her the power of true joy.
